DaVinci Gourmet Flavored Syrups

I can not start my day without coffee and I also love the flavored ones. I tried out DaVinci Gourmet flavored syrups. I tried out 5 of their flavored syrups cherry, chocolate, caramel, vanilla and hazelnut.
No one compares to DaVinci Gourmet®. With over 60 classic flavors, all made from pure cane sugar, it’s no wonder why our customers tell us we’re the best. Specially formulated not to curdle milk and to hold up well under heat, DaVinci Gourmet Classic syrups are perfect for virtually any application: espresso–based drinks, brewed coffee and tea, granitas, smoothies, Italian sodas, desserts and more.

For the cherry this is the perfect addition to my favorite mixed drink Amaretto sour YUM!
For the chocolate Brendan has been adding this to his milk and he LOVES it!
I love adding the caramel to all of my coffee flavors adding just that little extra something.
I also love adding the vanilla to everything especially the vanilla flavor coffee giving it more vanilla power.
The hazelnut I use in Danny's coffee to make him something different and he really likes it.

I also see these a lot in my local gas station when I am getting coffee on the go. They have great flavor with low calories and they have many different varieties of them with their new naturals and zero calorie ones. I have the zero calorie Kahlua one and it is also great. They make fruit flavored ones that are perfect to add into your teas and other mixed drinks.

Zaycon Foods America's Drive Thru Meat Market

How does Zaycon Foods manage to provide such high quality super fresh meat and produce to its customers at such low prices? The answer is strength in numbers. And not our numbers, yours!

Zaycon Foods can sell its products at bulk rate prices to individual consumers and families because our unique sales event business model brings lots of people together, adding all their purchasing power into a combined bulk food purchase. And when you buy as part of a group that’s committing to such a large purchase, the power is in the hands of the purchaser! It’s the ultimate group buy in terms of both price and consumer empowerment.


You can pre-select exactly what you want to order from a given Zaycon sales event – sometimes you may want to stock up on our amazing meaty back ribs and sometimes it might be all about the Zaycon bacon – and then, on the day of the sales event, you and a whole big bunch of your neighbors will find yourselves in a nearby parking lot watching as an entire tractor trailer’s worth of high quality natural food is unloaded into all of your cars! You will be amazed at how quickly one of our refrigerated trucks goes from being filled with natural, fresh chicken or hundreds of gallons of grade A non-homogenized milk to being empty and back on its way to the farm!


A Zaycon Foods truck sales event often lasts less time than you would spend on a trip to the grocery store, yet you will leave with a whole lot more food than you’d get at the market, and for much better prices, too!

When you use the Zaycon Foods sales event as your preferred place to purchase meats, milk, and any of our other fine products, you get advantages even beyond the bulk pricing that comes with our special sales model. You also have the peace of mind of knowing exactly what you’re going to get! A trip to the grocery store can involve wasted time wandering around looking for various foods spread out across the store; at a Zaycon Foods parking lot meat truck delivery (or milk or berries or fish delivery, too!) you have pre-ordered your foods, so all you have to do is show up and wait for our friendly staffers and volunteers to load up your car. 

Also, unlike in the grocery store, the prices you will pay for a Zaycon Foods product are locked in on our website, so you will know how much you are going to spend before you have committed to a purchase. 

At a supermarket, you might pay one price for chicken on one day, and then a higher price on another day. With Zaycon, you decide that you want to order a case of our fresh boneless skinless chicken breasts, you check the price and then you commit to it, knowing that from that moment on, we are committed to getting you your fresh, natural food!

Nuby Natural Touch Drying Rack

When you have a newborn and are bottle feeding you have a ton of bottle dishes to do. I started out using the dishwasher but I didn't feel they got clean enough so I now wash by hand.
Here is the Nuby Natural Touch Drying Rack and it retails for $8.99.


The Nûby™ Bottle Drying Rack is easy to assemble and allows it to hold a large number of items without taking up too much space in the kitchen. It’s ideal for bottles and cups of all shapes and sizes. It also keeps nipples, spouts & pacifiers neatly stored until they are ready to be sterilized.

 
This is easy to put together and it only took a minute. You do need to keep a towel or something under it as the water will drip off all over the counter.
This will even hold the lids on the bottom piece. When you are finished it snaps up and it is easy to store in a cabinet. We like this a lot.

You can purchase this item at Buybabydirect, diapers.com, idealbaby.com, amazon, Ross dress for less, and Kmart.

Ozeri Deluxe Milk Frother in Stainless Steel

If you are a big coffee drinker like we are then you NEED a milk frother. I found a great one from Ozeri it is their Deluxe Milk Frother and it retails for $29.95 CDN.
